Why are keywords so important?
#Keywords allow you to locate materials on your topic in the library catalog and databases. You need to think about the language used by the "experts" and related synonyms.
Keywords (think hashtags) can be:
- People
- Places
- Events - i.e. 9/11
- Time Periods/Eras - i.e. The Great Depression, 1930s
- Issues
- Concepts
Don't just do one search! Search a resource with multiple keywords and then use the database tools to refine (narrow) your results.
